It is the kind of act which is used to deal with various situations. It is the ability to overcome fear.
Courage is “exploring the emotions that are untouched and believing your own capabilities”.
Doing something that might be a little risky such as sky diving or riding a bike for the first time.
Courage is doing what you are afraid to do. It is quality in which we take stand for our beliefs. It’s being confident in whatever we are saying. Courage is not only speaking, sometimes it means to be quiet and listen. It is the ability to overcome our problems. In Everyone’s life, courage is important because we don’t know about the situation and life is not meant to be easy. From that situation, we need the courage to solve it. Courage means helping someone who is in need, it can be your friend, your relatives and sometimes a stranger who needs help. Having courage can make us better human beings.
Patience
Patience is the quality of staying calm and not getting angry, mainly when you have to wait for long or when you have to face any difficulty. It is the ability to endure difficult conditions.
Having patience means being able to wait calmly. In short, it is the love of endurance you have before getting frustrated. The best way to practice patience is to make yourself wait. Being mindful of the things making you impatient relax. It is a good attitude that you have to keep while waiting.
Patience is a tool of solving the problems and achieving success or we can say fulfil the goals or dreams. Its means keep walking towards your goals calmly and peacefully without complaining.
In a teacher’s life, more courage and patience are important. These are the two wheels for starting beliefs in a student’s life. We need to adjust according to each student’s needs. For the first time. When a child enters the school for the first time, the teacher needs courage and patience to handle each and every child. It’s being positive towards everyone.
Story of courage
When I was in school, I was the girl who used to be quiet in the class. I use to feel shy about talking to someone. I never used to participate in extracurricular activities. Although I love to participate in Sports Day very much. But due to not having that much courage to come in front of everyone I always use to stay at the back.
There was one of my dearest friend in the school who used to stay near my house. She always used to encourage me to participate in Sports Day as she knew I am very good at Athletics. She told our class teacher that she is good at athletics and asked her to give me a chance once.
Ma’am called me on Sports Day, she asked me to participate once in the races. First, I said no but due to their motivation I gave myself a chance and participated. After my participation, I used my whole strength in the races. When I got first everyone applauded for me. In this me, my teacher and my friend waited patiently for my courage to come forward. This is my journey of getting courage due to my teachers and friends. Now I am the girl who has full courage to do anything and can also speak in front of everyone.
“Two of the hardest test in life: The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept that you’ve waited for nothing”
